Details
The 1945-D Mercury dime is a common coin in all grades through MS67, including those designated as Full Bands specimens. The year 1945 marked the last run of Mercury dimes before the ten-cent coin was used as the canvas for the Roosevelt type.
Obverse: Winged Liberty, or Mercury (the Roman god of commerce), is depicted facing left with LIBERTY spelled around the periphery. IN GOD WE TRUST appears left of the neck and the date is positioned just below the bust around 5 o'clock. The designer's initials "AW" appear to the right of the neck.
Reverse: A large torch is centered vertically adorned with an axe head and olive branches. UNITED STATES OF AMERICAN * ONE DIME * is spelled out around the periphery. Mint mark, if any, appears near the bottom rim left of the torch.
